Laser tripods
DEWALT Laser tripod, up to 72 in, 1/4-20 thread
Six feet of height and a level built into the head — and no figure anywhere for how low it goes.
Specifications
- Stated dimension or range
- Extends open to 72 in and collapses to 38 in for storage, stated. Seventy-two inches is the tallest on this shelf — six feet puts a laser above head height for a suspended ceiling or a soffit. NO MINIMUM WORKING HEIGHT is published: 38 inches is the folded length for transport, not a usable setting, and this shelf's introduction says the minimum matters as much as the maximum
- Reference and mounting
- A 1/4-inch × 20 thread mount, stated, and stated compatible with ALL DEWALT line and spot lasers. Naming the whole of its own laser range is a stronger compatibility statement than most on this site — and 1/4 inch rather than 5/8 means it is not a construction tripod
- Body and fittings
- A tilting head with an INTEGRATED LEVEL, stated to allow level ground to be established. Lightweight aluminum construction with collapsible legs. A level in the head rather than on the leg collar is the better place for it: it reads the plate the instrument actually sits on
- Material
- Aluminum construction, stated. No wall thickness, no alloy and no load capacity appears — and the other tripod on this shelf publishes a 6.6 lb load
- Measuring mode
- An integrated level on the tilting head. On a self-leveling laser the tripod need only land within the pendulum range; on a manual laser the head level is the reference the whole job depends on
- Supplied
- A carrying pouch, stated, plus non-skid feet. At 1361 g (48 oz) the parcel is roughly four times the weight of the other tripod on this shelf, which is what six feet of aluminum leg costs
- Also stated
- Class II laser, stated — which belongs to the lasers it carries rather than to the tripod, and is the kind of line that drifts across a listing from the product beside it. No elevating column is published

NO minimum working height. NO load capacity. No elevating column. No 5/8 thread.
The tallest on this shelf, and the one number it is missing.
Thirty-eight inches is the COLLAPSED length — legs folded, head down, for
storage. It is not a working height.
How low the tripod will actually stand depends on how far the legs splay, and the
page does not say.
This shelf’s introduction: the minimum matters as much as the maximum, since a
tripod that will not go low enough is useless for floor work. The buying tip puts
most laser work between 60 and 150 cm (59.1 in).
The other tripod here publishes seventeen inches.
Ask before buying this one for skirting work.
What six feet is for
The jobs the short tripod cannot reach.
A suspended ceiling grid. A soffit line. A high dado. A stairwell datum.
Seventy-two inches puts a cross-line laser above head height. The other tripod on
this shelf stops at fifty-three inches — below eye level.
The cost is bulk: 1361 g (48 oz) of parcel against 310, and thirty-eight inches folded
against seventeen.
One tripod for floors, one for ceilings. A working van carries both.
The level is in the head, which is the right place
A bubble on a leg collar tells you the collar is level.
The head sits above it on a tilt mechanism — and a tilted head on a level collar
is still a tilted laser.
DEWALT puts the level in the tilting head: the plate the 1/4-inch screw goes
through, which is the surface the instrument actually stands on.
On a self-leveling laser that matters less. On a manual one, it is the whole
reference.
And a Class II line that is not about the tripod
“Class II laser”, in the description of a tripod.
A tripod has no laser class. That line belongs to the tools it carries, and it is
the kind of sentence that drifts across a listing from the product beside it.
Harmless here. Worth noticing, because the same drift is how a page ends up
claiming a figure that belongs to something else.

What gets asked here
How low does it go?
The page does not say, and that is the gap to press on. Thirty-eight inches is the COLLAPSED length for storage — legs folded, head down — not a working height, and a tripod's lowest usable setting depends on how far the legs will splay. This shelf's introduction says the minimum matters as much as the maximum because a tripod that will not go low enough is useless for floor work, and the buying tip puts most laser work between 60 and 150 cm (59.1 in). The other tripod on this shelf publishes 17 inches. Ask, or measure one in a shop, before buying this for skirting work.
Is six feet useful?
For the work the other tripod cannot do. Seventy-two inches puts a cross-line laser above head height, which is what a suspended ceiling grid, a soffit line, a high dado or a stairwell datum needs — and the other tripod on this shelf stops at 53 inches, below eye level. The cost is bulk and weight: this is 1361 g (48 oz) of parcel against 310, and 38 inches folded rather than 17. One tripod for floors, one for ceilings, and the honest answer is that a working van carries both.
Why is a level in the head better than on the legs?
Because it reads the surface the instrument actually stands on. A bubble on a leg collar tells you the collar is level; the head sits above it on a tilt mechanism, and a tilted head on a level collar is still a tilted laser. DEWALT puts the level in the tilting head, which is the plate the 1/4-inch screw goes through. On a self-leveling laser that matters less, since the pendulum corrects anything within its range; on a manual laser, or when checking that a self-leveling laser is inside its range before it flashes, it is the reading that counts.
